Item Description:

Ravid III, son-in-law of Ravid II, was much like his father-in-law and did not mince words in his criticisms of other rabbis and their positions. But all of this came from an intense dedication to truth and he accepted criticism as much as he gave it. Famed for his long-standing dispute with the great Rambam, this debate eclipsed the fiercer one he had with the Baal Ha Maor. Citing the writings of these two giants, Rabbi Wein captures the fiery spirit that characterized the rabbis of Provence.
